Farrelly Bros. “Dumb and Dumber” sequel: “Sleaze and Sleazier”

New film to focus on Clintons and Trump and the “Trump-Russian Dossier”

In a surprise announcement, the Farrelly brothers, Bobby and Peter, best known for their blockbuster 1994 film, Dumb and Dumber, will soon begin shooting a new film Sleaze and Sleazier.

According to Bobby Farrelly, “The idea came to us this morning after we heard the news that the Clintons and the DNC partially funded the research into the Trump-Russian Dossier."

Peter Farrelly went on to say “When we heard Trump’s comments regarding that revelation we decided we had to make the film."

Trump told reporters on Wednesday that the campaign and the DNC's involvement with the dossier was a "very sad commentary on politics in this country. Hillary Clinton always denied it. The Democrats always denied it, and now, only because it is going to come out in a court case, they said yes they did it. They admitted it and they are embarrassed by it,” going on to say, ‘I think it is a disgrace.”

According to Bobby Farrelly, “for Trump to think something is a ‘disgrace’ is pretty incredible. I mean, who is more disgraceful than Donald Trump? And since the Trumps and the Clintons epitomize political sleaze, why not do a film about it.”

While casting has not been announced, the Farrelly brothers intimated that many of the usual subjects would be cast, including Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump, Darrell Hammond as Bill Clinton, Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton, Laura Benanti as Melania Trump, Larry David as Bernie Sanders and Melissa McCarty as Sean Spicer.

And in an incredible casting coup, according to Peter Farrelly, Edie Falco has signed on to play the role of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chair of the DNC during the election campaign “as long as she can bring the wig she wore in Law and Order True Crime -- The Menendez Murders.”
